The Editor and the Dog Flight.

We don't know any special reason whJ
dog fights should occur in front Of our ONCE,
when so kindly a spirit is breathed forth
from its interior, and so much Of the milk of
human kindness runs through the columns
OF the Telegraph; but such fights do occa-
sionally occur on the streets and one such
attracted Monday morning large crowd to
witness 1t, and quite as large a crowd to
law" over it after the dogs were separated.
Two dogs, one bull belonging 10 Bin Good
win who lives out Of the village near
Maquoit shore, and one belonging 10 the
Conns, provision dealers on Maine street
got into fight and fought fercely; soon a
ring OF men was formed and the PROPOSE
tion was 70 allow the dogs to have the fight
out, and for sometime the dght went on.
some parties attempting to stop IL, and there
were collisions from the efforts made by
humane people to stop the contest Finally
Lou Norman came along and seized one Of
the dogs when the fight ceased but there
was all manner Of angry words passed from
side to side for some minutes, when the peo-
pie dropped out one by one and the fare
ceased. No man with humane intincts will
ever advocate the continuance Of a dog fight.

over anxious and made several errors that
nearly lost 1t to them. Hatfield pitched and
only six hits were made off his delivery. Not
one Of the six runs were earned by the
Manchester. The champions could not find
McDermott's delivery until the 7th but after
that they earned three runs. The Man

seems rather strange that they should brace
up so when they meet the Portlands. Hal
pin, Shelter, Trask and Canavan distinguish
ed themselves by fine playing, and McDer-
mott and Coughlin kept the portlands from
stealing single base. In the 9th inning
Umpire Small reversed his decision, called
Andrus out at the plate which enabled the
Portlands to tie the score. Coughlin was in
jured in the 7th inning. and was replaced by
Trask. The Manchesters had two men on
bases in the 10th inning, when the game was
called because of darkness. IL Is probable
that two games will be played to-day. The

crete walks will be laid and the grounds
adorned with flowers and shrubbery. Foun-

will become one of the pleasantest of that
popular resort.
The project for the erection of an iron pier

the staunch supporters Of the scheme from
the start, is going to meet Mr.. E. II. Goff,

Iecting War Vessels.
Newfoundland Demands Represen-
tatIon on the Commission.
Afraid for Her Trade Relations with
the United States.
Especial to the Press ]


HALIFAX, N. s., Sept n.-Newfoundland
demands representation upon the new fishery
commission as 1t had upon the Halifax COM
mission. which gave five millions award, Of
which Newfoundland got one million.
Newfoundland papers urge that its interests
will be vitality affected by the new commits
sion in its trade relations with the United
States, in its supplies of bait to American
fishermen, and as regards its shore fisheries,
and saws that any attempt to dispose Of its
interests by tribunal in which it has no
voice will be resented by the people Of that
colony.
Regarding the notification of the COM
manders of the French warship, Judge Puy-
sent addressing the grand jury Of Bay Saint
George. repudiated the French assumption
that the investiture of British authority on
the French shore was irregular, but
1t Is suggested that in order to preserve
, harmony between the English and French
fishermen, the former should be licensed to
sell bait to the latter.
OTTAWA, Ont. Sept. 1O-Gsn Lord Alex
ander Russell. the commander of the British
troops in Canada, will arrive here today to
consult with the Dominion government In re-
gard to the proposed changes for the
Strengthening of the coast defences Of the
colony. There are many coniectures as to
the motive which has prompted the lmpe-
rial government to this hurried line of ac-
tion. To the casual observer there appears
to be no immediate danger. yet there must
be some underlying cause which has in
duced the British government to- take the
extra precautionary measures proposed. 1t
Is thought that it may be deemed advisable
because Of the unsettled state Of the fishery
question and its possible results. The Brit
ish government has promised to support
Canada in enforcing her fishery regulations,
which have the Queens Endorsement and
the government is, therefore, duly bound to
stand by the colony. Two war ships OF the
British navy have now been ordered to CO.
operate with the Canadian cruisers in seeing
that the Dominion laws are carried out. In
outer political circles here at the capital
there Is much speculation as to the reasons
for the sudden and altogether unexpected in
terest England is now taking in the Domin-
ion.

About $50 p. m. last Friday fire was dis
covered upon the roof close to the engine
chimney of c. p. Mattock's corn canning es-
tablishment and had it not been for the
timely precaution of the superintendent,
Mr.. c, II. Colby, in having water pals filled
with water in readiness, the whole factory
would have burned to the ground, as there
was no other means for fighting fire. When
the alarm of fire was sounded the whole
were soon under subsection with slight loss.
The burning of the factory would have en-
tailed a heavy loss as the whole seasons
packing up to the present time, amounting
to some 10000 cans and all the stock, would
have been destroyed.
Light frosts were reported in the yicini. .y
of Steep Falls and East Baldwin on Friday
morning.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
THE SOMERSET ROAD.


The survey and location Of the Somerset
railroad are completed from North Anson.
the present terminus Of the main line, to
Bingham, a distance Of 163 miles. The bridge
across the Carrabasset at North Anson will
be commenced as soon as the one from Dod-
lin can be transported over the new branch.
Three and one-half miles Of the road bed are
already graded between the CaTrabasset and
Carratunk Fails at SOlOn, and 1t Is proposed
to complete the grading, bridge and culyert
masonry this fall, ready for the superstruc-
ture In the early spring.
MAKING THE CONNECTION.
1t is reported that the plan for the eonnee-
ton between the Bangor and PiseataquiS
and the Canadian Pacific Railways at Green
vile, as submitted by II. ID. Lumsden, @. T..
Of the latter road, has been substantially
agreed upon, and the roads will be connected
according to that 1t provides for branch
to leave the main line 200 feet this side Of
the station at Greenville and curve to the left.
joining the Canadian Pacific 1900 feet away.
The track Of this road crosses the Piscata-
quis % feet above grade, and the branch will
therefore be on an up grade Of about rs feet
to the mile. This is heavy. considering the
difficult place for making the connection. AT
the place where the branch strikes the Cana
dian Pacific there will be a station and side
tracks. IL Is estimated that the cost Of
making the connection will be over $4,000
and according to the act OF the Legislature
this will be paid by the Canadian Pacific,
and they will also be obliged to maintain 1t.
The cost of taking the business over this
branch from one road to another will be
classed as operating expenses, and 1t Is un-
dersto0d that this will be equally divided be-
tween the two reads. Work on the connec-
tion will begin at once.
